Okay, now I am totally confused about Mitt Romney’s ever-moving position on the abortion issue. You don’t think he is trying to cater to as many people as possible, do you?

In the past, I’ve written about how when Romney was Governor of Massachusetts he was pro-choice straight down the line. And not only was he pro-choice in terms of legislation, he actually met regularly with staff people from the Massachusetts branch of the National Abortion Rights Action League to strategize. They were buddies.

Then, when Mitt decided to run for President, his position on this very basic issue started to “evolve.”

Now, I can see how over a period of years someone might change their views on certain economic models or on the pros and cons of rehabilitating prisoners. There are a lot of fuzzy areas in those issues so one could become more educated over time. But abortion? Gimme a break! What is more fundamental than whether or not to allow a woman to terminate her pregnancy? I mean, there’s something living inside the woman’s body and, if she gets an abortion, that once-living thing is no longer living, pure and simple. How does an adult “evolve” on that basic issue? Did Romney suddenly learn how pregnancies work?

Of course, the answer is he had to be pro-life to get the Republican nomination. That’s because the nominating process in that party is totally dominated by right wing nut balls and you gotta pander to them if you hope to have any chance of securing the nomination. And Romney did pander. Oh, no, I’m sorry. He “evolved.”

So now that he has the nomination, he’s had to shift gears again to cater to the independent voters. And to do that you have to move to the political middle. So, the other day Mitt Romney actually declared that ““There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my legislative agenda.”

What the hell?

Is Romney telling us that when the new Congress comes to town and pro-life Congressman James McNabb from Podunk, Illinois introduces legislation banning third trimester abortions or requiring women to get the consent of their husbands, he will have absolutely nothing to say about those bills? If the Republican House of Representatives decides to pursue one of those “personhood” measures on a national level, is Mitt Romney actually going to resist the incredible amount of pressure from the pro-life lobbyists and not take a position on that issue?

Poppycock. He just continues to pander to anyone who will listen.

I will give him some credit, however, in that he is actually being candid when it comes to Planned Parenthood. He has said unequivocally that he will “cut off funding for Planned Parenthood” and that is certainly an extreme position that might not go over well with independent voters. The irony, of course, is that Planned Parenthood clinics probably prevent thousands of abortions each year but then Romney probably still has not “evolved” on the issue of birth control. Give him 20 more years to catch up.

Hopefully, the American public, and especially those who for some unfathomable reason are still undecided, will not buy into this “it’s not on my agenda” bull crap. Indeed, if Obama is not in another coma during the next debate, this is an issue that he should jump all over.

Thanks, Elana. The Daily News article is interesting. I think by now, many educated people realize that Romney is a big flip flopper. The problem, as I see it, is that Obama and Biden have not made that very clear. There are some very simple and clean campaign commercials that they could be running, juxtaposing his position on abortion years ago to his supposed position today. But what often happens in campaigns is the professionals get too caught up in “cute” messages (like the Big Bird commercial) and they forget how to do something that is simpler and, I would suggest, more effective.

The bottom line is that Romney is getting away with murder here. There are too many folks out there who are buying his stuff. This election is way too close and it shouldn’t be. Obama has got to cut his balls off tomorrow night…..

I do not wish for my tax dollars to be used to fund anrtoiobs. I am pro-life and not pro-death and therefore do not condone the killing of unborn babies. Abortion, which stops a beating heart, is the killing of unborn babies by mutilation and must be excluded from any health care reform bill.

So, Frita, what do you do for them AFTER they’re born to show how much you care for them as real children? Are you a Big Sister, a public school classroom volunteer, a foster parent, an adoptive parent, a family court guardian ad litem? The minimum acceptable level of commitment to be truly “pro-life” is 600 unpaid hours a year and 8% of your gross annual income spent directly with or on a child whose parents can’t or won’t care for it.

What’s your track record in being consistent in the long term for caring for what self-proclaimed “pro-lifers” call human life?

The point is that there by and large is such a chasm between what your people say and what they actually do for real humans, it practically screams, “pathology.”

So, Fitz, I assume you oppose war and the death penalty, correct? Also, a close relative of mine had an abortion and now she has two kids. What do you think of her? If you were face to face with her right now, what would you tell her?

Obviously, Gov. Sununu is supporting Mitt Romney. He’s iirnognng Romney’s support of a Universal health care model in MA, yet critisizes others that may pose a challenge to Gov. Romney. Gov. Sununu: just stop pretending and say you support Mitt Romney. They you two can bond by hunting squirrels (a few times), march with MLK, and ignore your younger days of youth and liberalism.

And now, as he keeps flip flopping comes this quote from an interview yesterday: “I think the most effective next step is to have the court return the decision (Roe v Wade) with regards to abortion to the American people and their elected representatives.” So, he doesn’t have a legislative agenda, supposedly, but he wants Roe v Wade overturned. Obama better raise this issue tonight!!!

I made this point a couple of weeks ago. He would get 2-3 SCt appointments, they would be far right, and RvW would be overturned, leaving it up to the states where total outlawing of abortion would result in many states.

Another thing the right doesn’t like is Title 9. Many women who got good jobs (other than teaching) post 1975 (or thereabout) did so due to Title 9. Unfortunately, many anti-choice women don’t understand this and will, in essence, kill off the opportunities for their granddaughters.

In John Dunkle’s case, its his great granddaughters who would end up with the jobs short stick. I wonder if john cares?
